Why not 100% growth?

"As for Microsoft's overall drop in revenue compared with a year ago, Healy noted
that the company would have posted 20 percent growth if one includes the sales
that were deferred to this quarter. "Twenty percent growth is good growth for any
company, let alone a company our size," she said. "

And why were they deferred? Because they were sales based on coupon for a
product not shipping until the next qtr - DUH!.

Why not claim 100% growth by moving more revenue into last qtr. MS a company
that never ceases to amaze, and the ZDNet crowd lap it up;-)
